Title: Method of and apparatus for automatically regulating the gratespeed in furnaces with travelling or chain grates
IPC: F23H11/00
Filed: 1921-05-11
Abstract: 163,268. Bosselmann, R. May 12, 1920, [Convention date]. Grates.-The speed of a travelling grate is regulated automatically and in accordance with the temperature of water passing through the bridge 8 arranged at the rear end of the grate. Water flows continuously from a reservoir 11 through the pipe 9, bridge 8, pipe 10, and coil 16 arranged in a vessel 17 containing Colza oil. Change of temperature of the water passing through the bridge produced by varying the furnace draught operates an expansion device 18 and a cup 19 containing mercury into which dip more or less of electric contacts 20 according to the height of the mercury cup. The electric contacts form part of an electric resistance 21 arranged in the shunt circuit of the electric motor 4 driving the grate. Rise or fall of the mercury cup 19 varies the resistance and the speed of the motor. The resistance may be varied by a lever operated by the expansion device 18, and the excitation of the armature circuit may also be varied.

Title: Improvements relating to wrapping magazines and periodicals by rolling
IPC: B65B25/14
Filed: 1948-05-18
Abstract: 641,042. Wrapping newspapers &c. KEMP, J. V. L., and HAWTHORN BAKER, Ltd. May 18, 1948, No. 13378. [Class 94(i)] In a machine in which newspapers or other periodicals are rolled in a wrapper by the action of rollers disposed around a cylindrical wrapping space, the wrapped newspapers are ejected from the wrapping space by an axial thrust imparted to them by a number of rollers having their axes of rotation inclined to the longitudinal axis of the space. The machine shown comprises end plates 1 and 2 interconnected by tie rods 3-6 on which are secured two series of metal blocks 9 and 11 defining a horizontal slot 13 and a cylindrical space 14. The blocks of each series are recessed to form slots 19 and 20 for the reception of rollers 21- 24 mounted on inclined axles 31-34 journalled in the blocks, the upper and lower sets of rollers being engaged respectively by driving rollers 25 and 26 journalled in triangular members 15 and 17 bolted to the end blocks 9 and 11. The roller 26 is driven through a pulley 27 by a motor and drives the roller 25 through chain and sprocket gearing 28-30. The rollers 21-24 may be provided with rubber treads. In operation, newspapers lying flat on gummed wrappers are fed through the slot 13 into the space 14 where they are rolled by the rollers 21-24 and at the same time urged towards the end plate 1 which is formed with a concentric hole 35 leading to an ejection tube 36 having a cut-away portion 43 to enable the wrapped newspapers to be removed, the inclination of the rollers being such that each newspaper is completely wrapped before it begins to leave the space 14. The rolling operation is assisted by a roller 39 carried by a rod 37 which is sufficiently flexible to allow an increasing number of layers of newspaper to pass between the roller 39 and the rollers 23, this rod being adjustable in a vertical slot in the end plate 2 so that it may occupy any position between the axis of the space 14 and the peripheries of the rollers 23. The upper blocks 9 are adjustable towards and away from the lower blocks so that newspapers of different sizes may be wrapped in the machine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to packing machinery
IPC: B65B19/18
Filed: 1934-05-03
Abstract: 432,823. Packeting-machines. J ACKSON, D., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd., 2, Evelyn Street, Deptford, London. May 3, 1934, No. 13384. [Class 94 (i)] To open the shells for shell and slide type packets, the shells are drawn from a stack in the direction of stacking by a suction device and are opened by lateral pressure. As shown the shells 1 are supported in magazine 2 by supports 3, 4. The support 4 moves laterally and as it moves towards support 3 the notch 9 engages the lowest shell and bows it upwards slightly. The suction device 5 then engages the lowest shell and sucks it into the space between the supports, the suction combining with the upward bowing to start the opening. The support 4 continues its motion towards support 3 exerting lateral pressure on the shell so that when the nozzle 5 leaves the shell on the bed of the machine, the cut away portion 14 of the wall 4 squares up the shell. The suction device 5 and the wall 4 are controlled by cams mounted on the same shaft. The support 3 is mounted on a spring plate 19 which allows the support to move outwardly as the shell is drawn downwardly by nozzle 5.

Title: Esters of 2-butyloctanol
Filed: 1935-05-11
Abstract: 2-Butyloctanol is esterified by heating with a carboxylic acid or its anhydride, preferably in the presence of sulphuric acid or other catalyst.  The acid may be aliphatic or aromatic, and mono- or polycarboxylic.  It may be partially esterified with 2-butyloctanol and the residual carboxyl groups reacted with another aliphatic alcohol to form a neutral mixed ester.  The esters are used as plasticizers for natural and artificial gums and resins in lacquers, varnishes, and other coating-compositions. 2-Butyloctanol may be prepared by heating n-hexanol with sodium, or by hydrogenation of butylamyl acrolein obtained from n-hexaldehyde by the aldol condensation with alkali.  In one example, 2-butyloctanol and phthalic anhydride are refluxed with sulphuric acid, benzene being employed to remove water.  The product is neutralized, washed, and dried with silica gel.  It is di-2-butyloctyl phthalate. 2-butyloctyl acetate, and di-2-butyloctyl succinate are prepared similarly using acetic and succinic acids respectively.ALSO:Carboxylic acid esters of 2-butyloctanol are used as plasticizers in lacquers, varnishes, and other coating-compositions.
